[Hiring] Fullstack Engineer @Silver.dev

Role Description

We’re looking for a Full-Stack Engineer with a strong frontend focus to transform Sophie’s user experience. You’ll own how wealth management advisors interact with our AI—making complex, powerful capabilities feel simple and intuitive.

• This role is ~70% frontend, ~30% backend/integration.
• You’ll primarily build UI/UX, but you’ll also connect APIs, occasionally modify backend logic, and contribute to product decisions.
• Pure frontend specialization isn’t practical at our stage—we need someone who can move fluidly across the stack.

What You’ll Do

• Own the Advisor Experience
  • Build and refine the dashboard where advisors interact with Sophie
  • Design conversation views, client insights panels, and recommendation displays
  • Make complex AI outputs feel simple and actionable
• Build Streaming UI
  • Implement real-time streaming response displays
  • Create thoughtful loading states and progressive disclosure
  • Help users understand what the AI is doing—not just wait for results
• Establish Design Systems
  • Create consistent, reusable component patterns
  • Document and maintain a component library that accelerates development
  • Ensure new features feel cohesive with existing product
• Optimize Performance
  • Ensure fast load times and smooth interactions
  • Handle edge cases gracefully—advisors use Sophie during client calls
  • Focus on perceived performance as much as actual metrics

Qualifications

• 4+ years production React experience with deep understanding of hooks, context, and rendering optimization
• Solid Next.js experience (App Router, server components, API routes)
• Strong TypeScript skills—non-negotiable
• Proficiency with Tailwind CSS and modern styling approaches
• Ability to implement complex, responsive layouts without designer hand-holding

Requirements

• Experience building streaming/real-time UI (chat apps, live dashboards, collaborative tools)
• Component library or design system experience
• B2B SaaS background, especially professional services or financial contexts
• Comfort with Framer Motion or CSS animations
• Basic backend knowledge (Python/Node.js, reading API code)

How You Work

• Strong UX intuition—you notice when flows have one too many clicks
• Pragmatic perfectionism—you know when to polish and when to ship
• Clear communicator who can explain technical constraints in business terms
• Collaborative mindset—frontend doesn’t exist in isolation

What This Role Is Not

• Not a pure designer role—you’ll implement designs, not create them from scratch
• Not a backend role—despite being “full-stack,” emphasis is heavily frontend
• Not a DevOps role—you deploy and debug, but don’t manage infrastructure
• Not a pixel-pusher role—we value engineers who think about UX, not just execute mockups

Compensation & Benefits

• Equity: Meaningful early-stage grant with 4-year vesting
• Time Off: Flexible PTO with a minimum 15 days encouraged
• Learning: $1,000 annual professional development budget
• Schedule: Flexible hours with 3-4 hours daily overlap (Americas timezones)

The Interview Process

• Recruiter Screen
• System Design Screen
• Technical Screen & System Design Interview with Tech Lead + CTO
• Assessment Deep-Dive with Senior Engineer + CTO
• Culture Fit Check with CEO
